This web site contains taxonomic information for all gentian flowers of the world (about 1700 species and 100 genera). Here you will soon be able to find a world species checklist, classification and phylogenetic data, morphological descriptions, interactive keys (global and regional), distribution, and links to associated information from other websites. The website is developed by the Gentian Research Network collaborative group, and maintained by Dr. Lena Struwe.
